but I do wonder why something similar to the Police item isn't commercially available. Would be a good solution for those of us who don't ride with a pillion and if locked down into the pillion seat mounting points would be a great secure place for tool rolls, locks etc.

Corbin and Sargent seat companies in the US make rear seat pods.

This bike is owned by Mark in California.

Last year I bought a Sargent pod, but sent it back because it just Would Not Fit comfortably.

I think the main reason was my high BMW Sport seat cushion meant the pod catch could only engage with Extreme pressure on the pod to squeeze the rider seat foam down.

Totally unworkable. I guess these pods are designed on an OEM standard rider seat.

The pods look neat. Less neat when used with top box and panniers, so might as well go Full Ugly



And the pods but aren’t all that spacious. The interior shape is awkward to use. A “cuboid” box can be filled to the corners.

Trouble is both seats and pods are mighty expensive.

The other problem is, looking at the photo, you are turning a Sports Utility into a single seater. No flexibility! A decent waterproof bag with lots of fixing points is a much better bet.

Like Boxerboy's setup the pods can be replaced with a rear seat in seconds.
I don't know about Corbin but Sargent makes it's own seat base.
Some of the guys I know with Sargent swap back and forth between the seat and pod.
As mentioned the Sargent pod is very small.
